But mostly, he loved running wind-sprints on the sidewalks outside the museum

This child loves to run. I think he feels free when he runs, and his face expresses such delight when he's bookin' it like that.

And oddly, it made time slow down for just a bit for us, while we stood by and watched the little dude run and laugh.

And I guess that is really what it is about. The moments when time slows while you watch your child taste freedom and happiness out of something so simple. . . hoping he knows the feelings well and often. . . here's to simple delights.

PS:

When not watching this little guy - we are working diligently on new Smmidge Studio designs, upcoming blog give-aways and updates on the shop, website, and all kinds of fun new 2011 happenings! Stat tuned!
